RF Protective Suit, Protection for 5G Workers, Microwave Workers and Maintenance Personnel!
Most of us know that we are surrounded by RF radiation all of the time. This radiation is of the non-ionizing variety, meaning that it lacks the energy to damage the DNA of a cell and cause mutations. RF is routinely absorbed by the body and the effects of this absorption are called "thermal effects", basically much as a microwave oven can heat water, RF radiation can rapidly warm the body. The eyes and the testes are most vulnerable to...

Want to Keep your Servers Free from Unwanted Intrusion? Put them in an RF Shielded Rack Enclosure!
A business stores a lot of valuable and sensitive information on its servers, hopefully, they also have firewalls and antivirus/antimalware software in place to prevent hacking the system through the internet connection. An offsite encrypted backup also helps to take away some of the risk of a ransomware attack. Improving digital security is part of the never ending chess game between today's digital criminal and computer security developers. One new way of accessing a company's most sensitive information is by...

5G-What’s the Latest Information on how it will Affect our Health?
The coming of 5G has had many people worried about "how will all of that RF radiation affect my health?" since its rollout in 2018. The concern about cell phones in general and their radiation emission has increased over the years, as people spend more time on them and near them than ever before. The FCC developed the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in 1996, at a time when the cell phone was just a phone. The SAR reflected the average...

Nesting isn’t just for Birds, Nested Enclosures Help to Determine Shielding Effectiveness!
The determination of the Shielding Effectiveness (SE) of a material at high frequencies/small wavelengths can give large variations in results based on the testing method employed. One of the methods used to get more consistent results is to use a "nested" testing chamber, meaning a testing chamber is divided by a shielded wall across the middle of the chamber, with a window/hole in it. On the receiving side, there is no mode stirring and the antenna is set up to...

Humans and Machines both Need Testing before they Can Work Together in Groups!
Just as the Medical Profession currently struggles with the testing difficulties of determining the presence of a COVID-19 infection or antibodies to determine the presence of this serious condition before people can resume their normal social lives, Electronic Engineers must struggle to locate and eliminate RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) which can impede their new components from working smoothly with other system components before they can safely bring them together as a team. EMI, has been defined as...

5G-The Realization of its Big Promises Depend on Today’s Smart Planning
5G, the "5th Generation New Radio", comes from a proud family. 3G, launched in 2003 marked the beginning of the wireless telephone world, 4G was launched in 2008 and marked the first time that users were able to watch videos on their smartphones. 5G promises to take the foundation laid by these earlier wireless networks and radically transform the way that people communicate, learn, conduct business, travel, entertain themselves, and interact with the world around them for the following reasons. 5G...

Cell Phones-Are They Helpful or Harmful to Us?
The debate has been going on for as long as we've had cell phones. They can summon help when we are in trouble, and allow pretty much instantaneous contact with the people we love. They can help us find our way when we're lost, and help us check out at a store with the wave of a hand. We all know that cell phones operate within radio frequency bands, acting as receivers and transmitters of RF to help us do...
